Today, Fashion Club, the alias of Los Angeles-based artist Pascal Stevenson, has announced her highly anticipated sophomore album, A Love You Cannot Shake, due out October 25th via Felte Records. Lead single Forget, the steamy art-pop track with country-inspired harmonies from Perfume Genius Mike Hadreas, is a conversation between Stevenson and her past self about the power of overcoming struggles. Its trying to love a version of myself that Ive spent so long trying to distance from, Stevenson says. But its also a recognition that if I drift too far away from the version of myself that I see as really flawed, I might forget the things about myself that I felt I needed to change. Though A Love You Cannot Shake is the first album that explicitly addresses her transness, its not so much a coming out record or a confessional, straightforward tell-all as it is a tastefully abstract distillation of her personal experiences and identities into stirring vignettes that anyone can relate to. Whether its the search for self-worth in a society that only values humanity in its relation to capital (Confusion), the uncomfortably circular nature of self-growth (Forget) or the self-destructive urge to make up for lost time (Ghost), this LP is rooted in the universal truth that self-actualization is always worth pursuing. Tracks often begin from a place of discomfort and shame, but by the end, they tend to arrive at a more patient, hopeful frame of mind, as Stevenson cherishes the authenticity of a more amorphous emotionality.
